Cactus Tree (LP版) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
Written by:Joni Mitchell[00:00:02]
There's a man who's been out sailing[00:00:10]
In a decade full of dreams[00:00:13]
And he takes her to a schooner[00:00:16]
And he treats her like a queen[00:00:18]
Bearing beads from California[00:00:21]
With their amber stones and green[00:00:24]
He has called her from the harbor[00:00:30]
He has kissed her with his freedom[00:00:34]
He has heard her off to starboard[00:00:38]
In the breaking and the breathing of the water weeds[00:00:42]
While she was busy being free[00:00:50]
There's a man who's climbed a mountain[00:00:58]
And he's calling out her name[00:01:00]
And he hopes her heart can hear[00:01:03]
3000 miles he calls again[00:01:05]
He can think her there beside him[00:01:08]
He can miss her just the same[00:01:11]
He has missed her in the forest[00:01:17]
While he showed her all the flowers[00:01:21]
And the branches sang the chorus[00:01:25]
As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree[00:01:29]
While she was somewhere being free[00:01:37]
There's a man who sent a letter and he's waiting[00:01:45]
For her reply[00:01:48]
He has asked her of her travels since the day[00:01:50]
They said goodbye[00:01:53]
He writes wish you were beside me we could make[00:01:55]
It if we try[00:01:59]
He has seen her at the office with her name[00:02:05]
On all his papers[00:02:09]
Through the sharing of the profits[00:02:12]
He will find it hard to shake her from these[00:02:16]
Memories[00:02:20]
And she's so busy being free[00:02:24]
There's a lady in the city and she thinks she[00:02:32]
Loves them all[00:02:36]
There's the one who's thinking of her[00:02:37]
There's the one who sometimes calls[00:02:40]
There's the one who writes her letters[00:02:42]
With his facts and figures scrawl[00:02:45]
She has brought them to her senses[00:02:51]
They have laughed inside her laughter[00:02:55]
Now she rallies her defenses[00:02:59]
For she fears that one will ask her for eternity[00:03:03]
For eaternity[00:03:08]
And she's so busy being free[00:03:11]
There's a man who sends her medals[00:03:19]
He is bleeding from the war[00:03:21]
There's a jouster and a jester and a man who[00:03:24]
Owns a store[00:03:28]
There's a drummer and a dreamer[00:03:29]
And you know there may be more[00:03:32]
She will love them when she sees them[00:03:38]
They will lose her if they follow[00:03:42]
And she only means to please them[00:03:46]
And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus[00:03:50]
Tree[00:03:54]
While she's so busy being free[00:03:58]
Like a cactus tree[00:04:06]
Being free[00:04:16]
